🚧 Today marks the start of National Construction Safety Week, and we're kicking it off with Day 1: Drive Personal Ownership! 💪 This means recognizing that every individual on the job site plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of the entire team. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the field, your decisions and actions matter. It's about owning up to the responsibility we each have for our team's well-being and committing to taking proactive steps to prioritize safety every single day. Let's empower ourselves and each other to make safety a top priority in everything we do! 🛠️👷♂️👷♀️ 💻 www.mullins-mechanical.com #ConstructionSafetyWeek #DrivePersonalOwnership #SafetyFirst

We’re construction workers, of course we had to hop on this trend! 👋 #PanPacificMechanical #FamilyLoyaltyRespect #WorkHardPlayHard #WinWorkBuildWork #OnePanPacific #PanPac #SafetyWeek #ConstructionSafety #ConstructionSafetyWeek2024 #Safety #ValueEveryVoice #SafetyFirst

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Infact, our health professionals would always say physical fitness Improve your memory and brain function (all age groups). Protect against many chronic diseases. Aid in weight management. Lower blood pressure and improve heart health. Improve your quality of sleep. Reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. Combat cancer-related fatigue. Finally, increasing employees' physical activity can create a healthier workforce, increase employees' productivity, and decrease employees' risk of developing costly and debilitating chronic diseases. Employees who are physically active have lower healthcare costs, require less sick leave, and are more productive at work. My submission for a daily morning physical fitness routine cannot be over-emphasized, lets make it a culture knowing it great preventive effect to us daily. Be safe.

For this year's #ConstructionSafetyWeek, we want to shed a light on one of the biggest risks in our industry. Falls are the leading cause of death in Construction, and they are always preventable. Today we're taking the time to Stand Down with Regional Electric LLC and ABM MECHANICAL, INC. to learn and stay aware on creating safe work environments and utilizing safe practices on the jobsite! #Construction #Safety #ConstructionIndustry #StandDown #ValueEveryVoice

Enhancing Safety in Concrete Handling At Key-Safety, we understand the critical role of safety in construction equipment operation. Our latest blog post provides comprehensive guidelines to ensure the safe and efficient use of construction machinery. From daily inspections to maintaining a clean operating area, we cover it all. Adhering to OSHA standards, such as OSHA 29 CFR 1926.251 for rigging equipment, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.600 for general equipment requirements, and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.601 for motor vehicles, is essential for preventing accidents and prolonging equipment life. Stay updated with the latest safety practices by visiting our blog at Key-Safety.com.

I got to perform a joint inspection with a CSO last week at a major project. The CSO had a background in highrise construction, and didn’t understand many of the hazards on the site they were newly stationed at. Additionally, the CSO was splitting time between this project and another, leaving this project, on some days, without any safety advisor whatsoever. We approached an excavation where workers were installing sections of 800mm carbon steel pipe. There were about 8 workers in the trench, which was at an elevation of roughly -5m. Workers were applying an isocyanate based glue over the pipe welds, and they had no exposure control plan. There was no adequate ventilation in the trench. Road plates were being used to shore the straight-cut, type C soil walls, and the road plates were not secured against inadvertent movement. Access/egress locations were not within 25’ of where the workers were located. Chainfalls and straps were being used to lower the pipes in place; however, workers were in the stored energy line of fire where the rigging was connected. The provision of rescue hadn’t been considered with how to extract an injured worker from the trench. Workers were preparing to compact road-base next to the pipe, by using a gas powered tamper. Monitoring for CO had not been considered. I don’t blame the CSO for their lack of knowledge. I blame the employer for not ensuring the CSO they placed at the project had an adequate skillset to properly assess the risks and address the hazards. I spent well over an hour debriefing the CSO on the hazards we identified; in the end, putting the necessary controls in place. Remember: WorksafeBC doesn’t want you to merely place a warm body in a safety role at your workplace. The worker needs to be competent and knowledgeable in the hazards of the work if they’re to be effective in their role. #safety #hse #ohs #occupationalhealthandsafety #trenching #shoring #excavations #civil #construction #majorprojects #infrastructure #engineering #contractor #leadership

📣 Are you committed to a safer construction environment? We are! 👏 SPS isn’t just upping the game in efficiency and innovation; it's been setting new benchmarks in construction health and safety for YEARS, and here’s why: ✅ With offsite manufacturing, SPS significantly reduces the need for working at height, diminishing risk and ensuring the well-being of the workforce. ✅ SPS eliminates the need for wet trades and onsite drilling, streamlining the construction process and reducing associated hazards. ✅ SPS cuts down installation time and labor, not just for itself, but also for follow-up trades on site! ✅ Once bolted, SPS immediately provides FULL structural capacity. ✅ SPS’s durable, non-slip coating ensures longevity and continued safety.

Overcame pipeline challenges? When it’s 70 degrees sunny and flat anybody can put pipe in the ground. Why, even engineers can build it for those circumstances. 😉 What do you do when you have weather challenges, that impact excavation, that impact the whole job? Planned Ahead: Anticipated obstacles, assessed conditions. Prioritized Safety: Ensured safety gear, mitigated risks. Adapted: Stayed flexible, developed alternative strategies. Communicated Effectively: Maintained clear communication, collaborated. With both the company, inspection and employees. Ensured Quality is Upheld high standards, conducted inspections. Continuously Learning: Stayed updated, focused on skill development. Successfully navigated pipeline construction and welding challenges. Perseverance and teamwork are key! #Construction #Teamwork #shancollc #professional #safety
